Integrated Circuit
Video IF Amplifier/PLL Detector System
Description:
The NTE875 is a complete video IF signal processing system on a single 28–Lead DIP type package.
This device contains a 5–stage gain–controlled IF amplifier, a PLL synchronous amplitude detector,
self–contained gated AGC, and a switchable AFC detector. The increased flexibility of the NTE875
makes it suitable for a wide variety of television applications where high quality video or sound carier
recovery is required. These include home receiver video IFs, cable and subscription TV decoders,
and parallel sound IF/intercarrier detector systems. Typical operating frequencies are 38.9MHz,
45.75MHz, 58.75MHz, and 61.25MHz.

Detector AC Set–Up Procedure: (SW1, 4 position 1, VAGC = 0V)
1. Apply νDET = 10mVrms, 45.75MHz CW at the detector input. Tune L1 for maximum AC signal
at Pin25, measured with a 10x FET probe or through a 1pF capacitor to prevent loading of
the limiter tank.
2. Increase νDET to 60mVrms. Adjust L3 until the PLL locks, as indicated by a DC voltage at
the video output Pin16.
3. With the detector locked, adjust L3 for 4V at Pin18.
4. Adjust VPH for maximum detector efficiency by monitoring Pin16 for a minimum DC voltage.
5. Adjust L2 for 3.0V at Pin27 (on sensitive slope of AFC curve).

Note 1. The IF amplifier gain is specified with the IF output connected to a 50Ω measurement system
which results in a 25Ω loaded impedance. The gain in an actual application will typically be
26dB higher.
